Planetary Science Division

The Planetary Science Division is a branch of space research focused on studying planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other objects within our solar system. It aims to understand their composition, geology, atmospheres, and histories to learn how they formed and evolved. This division conducts space missions, develops scientific instruments, and analyzes data to uncover insights about planetary processes and the potential for life beyond Earth. Its work helps us better understand our planetary neighbors and the broader dynamics of our solar system.
